about me

Julia Klinger (b. 2003) is a graphic designer, poster artist, and illustrator based in Poland. Driven by the belief that design thrives in community, her practice centers on collective creation, collaboration, and visual storytelling. She works primarily across culture, education, and public institutions, developing projects that call for an individual approach and original visual solutions.

Her work combines graphic design with an authorial approach to image-making. The Polish School of Posters is an important reference point in her practice, which she reinterprets through a contemporary visual language. Alongside design, she is interested in cultural production, education, and collaborative projects, creating spaces for others to participate while developing her own practice.

She is the founder and coordinator of pstRYK, a student poster association at Bydgoszcz University of Science and Technology, where she initiates exhibitions, workshops, and creative collaborations. She also initiated and developed Lab³, a graphic design workshops at the University of the Third Age, where she teaches graphic design. She holds a BA in Visual Communication and is currently completing an MA in Visual Communication and Digital Media. Her academic work has been recognized with the Rector’s Scholarship, awarded throughout her studies, as well as the Scholarship of the Minister of Science and Higher Education in 2026.

Her work has been presented in over 40 exhibitions, festivals, biennials, and poster events across Europe, North and South America and Asia. She has received awards and honorable mentions in national and international competitions. In 2025, she presented a solo exhibition at Młyny Rothera in Bydgoszcz, selected through the Open Call 5×5 programme.

She gained professional experience through internships at cultural institutions such as the Centre of Contemporary Art Znaki Czasu in Toruń, Opera Nova in Bydgoszcz, and TAKO Publishing House.
